The only thing is that I need to be careful with the cap, it can be easily lost. But, with a good case that holds a pen the tinny issue is solved.

With its seamless integration with various apps, the Apple Pencil unlocks a world of creative possibilities. Explore powerful drawing and design apps like Procreate, Adobe Photoshop, or Autodesk SketchBook, and unleash your artistic vision on a digital canvas.

I've only been using it about a week, but I've had no issues. I use the pencil to take handwritten notes and I've been very happy with it. While i'm no artist, features like pressure sensitivity and tilt-awareness are cool and useful. The package contained the extra nib and adapters.
I'll update in the event anything goes wrong -- and maybe even if things stay right!

One aspect to keep in mind is the limited compatibility of the 1st Generation Apple Pencil. It is only compatible with select iPad models, specifically the older iPad Pro, iPad Air (3rd generation), and iPad (6th and 7th generations). This means that if you own a newer iPad or iPad Pro, you may need to consider purchasing the 2nd Generation Apple Pencil for full compatibility. Additionally, the Pencil's cylindrical shape lacks an eraser feature or programmable buttons, which could have added more versatility and convenience to its usage. Lastly, the need to charge the Pencil by connecting it to the iPad's Lightning port may be a minor inconvenience, as it exposes the Pencil to potential accidental damage during charging.
In summary, the Apple Pencil (1st Generation) is a remarkable tool that unlocks a world of creativity on compatible iPads. Its precise and responsive performance, along with its seamless integration with various drawing apps, makes it an excellent choice for artists and note-takers alike. However, it's important to consider the limited compatibility with specific iPad models, as well as the absence of an eraser or programmable buttons. With its undeniable strengths and a few minor drawbacks, the 1st Generation Apple Pencil earns a solid four-star rating from me.

Die Verarbeitungsqualität des Apple Pencil ist exzellent, wie von Apple gewohnt. Er liegt gut in der Hand und die matten Oberflächen sorgen für einen angenehmen Griff. Die magnetische Befestigung am iPad Pro funktioniert einwandfrei und hält den Stift sicher an seinem Platz, sodass ich ihn nicht verlieren kann.
Die Empfindlichkeit und Präzision des Apple Pencil sind beeindruckend. Die feinen Druckstufen ermöglichen es mir, mit großer Genauigkeit zu zeichnen und zu schreiben. Es fühlt sich fast so an, als würde ich auf Papier arbeiten, da der Pencil die feinsten Nuancen meiner Bewegungen erfasst. Die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit ist schnell und es gibt keine spürbare Verzögerung, was eine flüssige und immersive Erfahrung ermöglicht.
Besonders beeindruckend ist die Palmenerkennung des Apple Pencil. Ich kann meine Handfläche bequem auf dem Bildschirm ablegen, während ich zeichne oder schreibe, und der Pencil erkennt nur meine Berührungen. Das macht das Arbeiten mit dem Pencil äußerst komfortabel und verhindert ungewollte Eingaben.
Die Akkulaufzeit des Pencil ist sehr gut. Eine einzige Ladung hält bei mir mehrere Tage bis hin zu einer Woche, je nachdem, wie intensiv ich ihn nutze. Die Aufladung erfolgt über den Lightning-Anschluss meines iPads, was sehr praktisch ist. Es wäre jedoch wünschenswert gewesen, wenn der Pencil über USB-C aufgeladen werden könnte, um mit den neueren Apple-Geräten kompatibel zu sein.
Die Integration des Apple Pencil mit den kreativen Apps im App Store ist nahtlos. Ich kann verschiedene Zeichen- und Notiz-Apps nutzen, um meine Ideen festzuhalten und zu skizzieren. Der Pencil erkennt unterschiedlichen Druck und Neigungswinkel, was eine Vielzahl von Effekten und Stilen ermöglicht.
Einziges Manko ist die Tatsache, dass der Apple Pencil nur mit ausgewählten iPad-Modellen kompatibel ist. Es ist wichtig sicherzustellen, dass Ihr Gerät die erforderlichen Voraussetzungen erfüllt, um den Pencil nutzen zu können.
Alles in allem bin ich vom Apple Pencil der 1. Generation begeistert. Er ist ein leistungsfähiges Werkzeug für kreative Aufgaben und bietet eine präzise und intuitive Bedienung. Wenn Sie ein Apple-Nutzer sind und gerne zeichnen, schreiben oder notieren, dann ist der Apple Pencil definitiv eine lohnende Investition.
